Making DIY Coffee Can Speakers

I don’t know why but I am a total sucker for these Extralife DIY videos. Perhaps because I am so cack-handed myself and have the DIY skills of an undeveloped chimp who’s yet honed his motor neuron skills. Perhaps I living vicariously through these videos, as, if only I could solder (and understand basic circuitry) I could fix all the broken stuff I have. I digress.

In his latest video, Zeroes and Ones editor, code-bod, musician and producer Matthew Cieplak takes us through turning some weedy 3 1/2″ Sony speakers into a neat little DIY project, housing them in a discarded coffee tin. Sonos, Beats by Dre, step aside…

Here’s what he has to say about it:

I found some junk and turned it into shiny, noisy junk. Follow along as I turn some found objects into objects d’art. No coffee was harmed in the making of this video.
